A Welsh Crocodile

Many thanks to Siani for this new story about a crocodile-like creature on the loose in Wales. Almost certainly, like several other such cases that have surfaced over the last half-a-decade or so in the British Isles, this one involves an exotic pet that some idiot bought, before realizing how much time and care is needed to look after such an animal. So what do they do? They dump them in ponds and pools - something that almost certainly ensures their death when winter comes.

It pisses me off too, to think that people are irresponsible enough to try and make a pet out of a wild animal, which they then dump when they find they can't cope with it. Despite it being May, it's not very warm here in Swansea at the moment, so the poor creature may have already died. I hope not. I'd like to think of it being found and taken to an appropriate sanctuary. I'd also like to see the person who dumped it found, and dealt with by the courts.

As The Real Men in Black demonstrates, Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, the Chupacabra, and perhaps even the legendary "Thunderbird Photograph" have attracted the attention of the MIB.

And, in a real scoop, I detail in my book the very creepy MIB encounter of legendary cryptozoologist, Loren Coleman himself...
